“in which unrequited love is more troubling than the plague, the Devil and a forest full of ghosts”
About the film:
Winner of Best Cinematography at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival. In a poor Estonian village, the main problem is how to survive the cold, dark winter. Nothing is taboo — people steal from each other, from their German manor lords, from spirits, the devil, and from Christ — and young Liina tries to gain the love of farmhand Hans by any means necessary, even if that means tapping into black magic.
Rainer Sarnet’s November won 9 Estonian Film and TV Awards and was selected as the Estonian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards.
About the filmmaker:
Rainer Sarnet is an Estonian film director who started in animation, advertising and publishing. Captivated by the different facets of the human soul, he mostly writes his own scripts but usually bases them on literary classics, like his 2011 film The Idiot, an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel. He also directed episodes of the award-winning financial drama series The Bank as well as stage plays by Przybyszewski, Gorky, and Jelinek.
Sarnet’s third feature November was adapted from a novel by Andrus Kivirähk.
